Medieval ramparts, the world's oldest Christmas market, and one of Germany's most layered historical cities.
Nuremberg is Germany's historical heart — birthplace of Albrecht Dürer, favourite residence of Holy Roman Emperors, and shameful stage of Nazi rallies. Its Christmas market (Christkindlesmarkt) is Germany's most famous, and the hilltop castle is majestic.
